What About Other Public Services?

What About Other Public Services?

another, ‘save the, NHS’
worthy,
but public services are in a mess
you,
spend the days with the likes of me
talk to me,
about A+E
the, ‘left’ always pick
predictable arguments and moral badges
which those busily destroying the NHS
and taking us back,
to a small state, easily dismiss
the ‘right’ bat off the ‘left’
with an uncomfortable ease
one that leaves us,
with a bleed
the left present
build your own arguments
of too simple jigsaws
predictable moments
lacking in thought
public services are collapsing
the vulnerable,
are suffering
workers are ill and stressed
but all we can say
is, ‘save the NHS’
